Loved this poem, Craig, as gardening is my zen zone. Right now, with the crappy, cold weather we’re having, I’ve been biting at the bit to get my hands in the soil. You’ve captured the gardener’s love of gardening perfectly.

Well done, Craig! This really works with the two separate poems becoming one poem. They intertwine quite nicely! I may have to take a crack at this style. It looks to be a quite beguiling form with many possibilities! Great job on Ellen’s challenge.

Love it. I’m impressed and amazed at those who can pull off a cleave poem, and you did it wonderfully. (I’m still screwing up limericks). No nits today, just a boatload of praise and admiration. Excellent!

This is an interesting style. Is it meant to be written so you can read it three ways? Left side, right side and together? I thought it was quite good. The one thing I noticed is in the first stanza, you rhymed hand with hand.

My attempt at a cleave poem. I thank Ellen Best for introducing this style of poetry to us all here I hope I have done it justice. The picture is where I sit to look at my garden I will have to take a garden pic I think Cancel reply
